.The mamas keeping this thread moving ,kudos and more blessings to you,I never learned much from this thread in my first pregnancy.. I never knew anything about colics until I saw it today on this thread and I had to go and read more on it on Google,from what was described my LO had similar symptoms to colics,I was feeding him formula from the 1st day after delivery cos I wasn't lactating at all,he usually cried most especially starting in the evening till late in the night, high pitch cry,clenched hand,tighten of abdomen, very angry face,and blood coming from his narvel,but all this actually started on 3rd day after delivery unlike like colics which has been described to start from 2 or 3 weeks old infant,probably it was just something else that was giving him all the pains.Crying, stomach pain in infant ,digestive problems, lactose intolerance,e.t.c could be caused by a whole lot of things other than colics because from what I have read on colics, it doesn't kill an infant, they usually out grow colics when they get older usually at 3- 4 months. 2 Likes |

Malaria o. Its dealing with me badly. Can't even reply some of my mentions. Dh has been giving me "The Look" that shows he wants some. Me I'm seriously pretending to be blind right now. I can't come and go and kill myself. I try my possible best to keep him satisfied, but not when I'm terribly sick. Yesterday he stood looking at me for a while and me I pretended to be fast asleep. Thank God he finally read my mind and walked away. At night his hand started roaming. The speed I take remove the hand ehn, I'm sure the guy must have been shocked. Me I'm going through so much pain plus malaria right now and sex is the last thing on my mind. In other news, I was asked to take Lonart. Has any mama used it before?

bulunton: Madam PresVA permission to hijack your post with a few comments... Clothing 8 one-piece outfits or onesies (mix of short-sleeve and long-sleeve) 5 nightgowns (for use until the cord falls off) very useful for nighttime changing, no snaps to fiddle with i used mine till 6 months. 8 one-piece sleepsuits 5 pairs of pants/ dresses to be honest apart from say baptismal gown or for baby dedication dont bother... most babies dont go out much in the first 3 months... wait a while before you get any dressy outfits 2 newborn hats 12 pairs of socks or booties, to wear with nightgowns and outfits 2 pairs of mittens, to keep baby from scratching face ( these will keep falling off. Very few have good wrist elastic so check well before you buy. I had to sew on elastic to keep them in place. 3-5 (or more) outfits for dressing up Blankets 3 large cotton blankets 8 receiving blankets (also used as burp cloths) Breastfeeding Lots of bibs Burp cloths Breast pump (manual or electric) Milk storage containers Nursing pillow (not essential) Nursing bras (if buying before baby is born, buy one cup size larger than your pregnant bra size) i would disagree especially if you are originally big breasted.... wait till you have given birth to buy your main nursing bras as the difference in cupsizes can be huge especially when you are engorged. I cannot overstate the joy of a COMFORTABLE nursing bra, remember you will be wearing these 24/7 so avoid any with underwire and stick to cotton at least for night time use. Breast pads (disposable or washable) Lotion or ointment for sore Tips (lanolin-based is best) Breast pad. Lansino or tommy tippe brand. Formula feeding Lots of bibsml Burp cloths 8 four-ounce bottles with Tips 6 eight-ounce bottles with Tips Bottle and Tip brush Formula (be sure to check expiry date) Thermal bottle carrier Thermal flask Sterilizer...either steam sterilzer or cold water sterilizer tablets or liquid ( milton is a good brand) Diapering One box or two bags of newborn-size diapers (Don’t buy too many in advance in case your baby is large or grows quickly) diaper bag Changing pad baby ointment or barrier cream to prevent rash Disposable wipes or washcloths for cleaning baby’s bottom Bathtime 1 plastic infant tub - this is debateable if it is reaaly needed in a nigerian home... most babies a given a bath on mama/grandma's lap. My MIL used to put her legs in the baby tub to catch the water that she used to bath my daughter, i tried it but my legs too long and i got water everywhere so i seat at the edge of the bath tub with baby on my lap inside the tub. If you dont have a bath tub at home or you have a wet room ( ie bathroom with no bath or shower tray with only a drain set into the floor ) you really dont need this . Invest in a good stool 1 cup or bowl to pour water 4 washcloths, not used on baby’s bottom baby soap or cleanser baby shampoo (optional) Dettol or savlon (optional) baby lotion/ cream baby hair brush/ comb 3 soft-hooded towels Sleeping If you are using a crib: Crib and crib mattress 3 waterproof mattress covers 4 fitted cribsheets 4 light blankets that fit in the crib If sleeping with parents: Firm mattress (not a waterbed) 3 waterproof pads to place under baby Light blanket (keep away from baby’s head) Mosquito net! some may say Moses basket, but these are a scam! Blink and your baby will have outgrown it. I struggled to get 5 weeks with mine also most are so poorly supported underneath that they tend to sag with baby's weight as they grow if they are placed on the stand. And also If you get one of the newborn to toddler rockers( see below) they have a lay flat setting for newborns so you dont need a moses basket as well Other necessities Infant carseat - very important for in-car safety. baby rocker try and get the one from either infant or newborn to toddler or else by 6 months max you would have outgrown it. Fischer price and Tiny love do ones that you can use till 40lbs or 18kg that is till about 2-3 years! Wrapper/wrapping cloth and Oja Nail clippers or scissors (or just bite off baby’s nails as needed) Bulb syringe for suctioning mucous or you can get a nasal aspirator instead... ita basically a little pipe you can manually suck.... funky version of mouth to nose thinz.. baby thermometer[/quote] suzy: 9 Likes 3 Shares |

Bulunton, it's never too early to start shopping, once you know the gender of your baby. For baby things, just go to Lagos island jejely (Dosunmu). If possible, look for 'little me store", I recommend it to people cos they sell at wholesale prices. They have two on the same street, from them you can get sleepsuits, bodysuits, baby toiletries, wipes, diapers, stuff on your hospital list and some other things. For things you are getting from other stores, try to price in at least two places because some of those sellers are armed robbers in disguise. Once they know you are a ftm, they start inflating prices. Best of luck. 5 Likes 3 Shares |

Mamas in the house my girlfriend and I were arguing today if 1k can cook a pot of soup (as we no kukuma get work na . She's a nursing mother and me I'm preggy). She said it can't in this present economy but me I said it can make management soup. Here's d breakdown Meat 200 (those ones already cut down 5 pieces for 100 naira) Ponmo 200 Okporokpo 100 (this time around its not for eating but to give the stock fish aroma to your soup) Vegetable 100 Tin tomatoes 70 Ground egusi + crayfish 200 Palm oil 100 And voila your egusi soup is ready. At least this will carry you and your dh for 2 days while you seriously discourage people from visiting until things pick up again. And this period you will substitute with other things like rice, beans, sphag, etc. The babe was laughing at me and calling me alaroro. Me I just told her to stay there and be forming "jand". Everyday is not xmas and there are times when things could get tight. So one needs management skills to tide you over until the booming period again. Abi I lie? 18 Likes |
